(praise for Of Walking In Ice:) Herzog's existential journey through a hostile winter landscape is one of the great modern pilgrimages - a record of physical suffering, of hallucination and ecstatic revelation, of portents and animals, of the wreckage of history and myth. Of Walking in Ice has the eerie power of the best fairytales. It hits you with the force of dreams and leaves you with the taste of snow-filled air
Helen MacDonald, author H is for Hawk
(praise for Of Walking In Ice:) Surely the strangest, strongest walking book I know, it tells the story of a winter pilgrimage, made in desperation and in hope. At once a diary, a blizzard of weather and memories, and the record of a ritual: only Herzog could have written this weird, slender classic
Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland
(Praise for Conquest of the Useless:) Hypnotic... Any book by Mr. Herzog...turns his devotees into cryptographers. It is ever tempting to try to fathom his restless spirit and his determination to challenge fate
New York Times
The form of The Twilight World...is very cinematic: indeed, it feels like a film unspooling inside Herzog's head as you read
Daily Telegraph
A beautiful little novel, with Herzog's slight prose ideally capturing the mind of the lonely Onoda... Nobody else could have written The Twilight World. It is pure Herzog
